I love to keep a bouquet of fresh flowers on my table, but I get tired of using the same old plain glass vases. How about you? I recently discovered that we don’t have to settle for a plain glass vase. We also don’t have to spend a mint to buy a fancy one, because there are a lot of beautiful ways to make a vase at home! Let me show you some lovely examples.
What do you think of this amazing pyramid stud vase? Would you believe it starts with some fence post caps from the hardware store? {Get some at Hardware World!}. I love the look and the color!
This rustic DIY flower vase is so simple to make. Just cover a glass cylinder vase with kindling {use a glue gun from Michaels}, then add a raffia or twine bow to complete the project. I love the way the wood sets off the flowers!
If you love the look of a rustic wood vase, you can go even more natural by using a real birch branch as a vase. Just hollow out the interior. You can place a slim glass vase inside if you plan to use fresh flowers.
Cover a plain glass vase with wine corks. You can purchase a pack of wine corks, or just save up your own.
Another fun way to cover a plain glass vase is to use seashells. If you’ve already got a seashell collection from your beach vacations, you’re set!
